PBM: i could have sworn that natalia was sold at daz at one point. the problem of little support for 3rd party models is the risk factor involved. look at the latest alexa thing. id flay the creator alive if i spent months creating clothing for a character only to have it yanked for a copyright dispute. not to mention you can never tell the original creator's intentions. what if they pull the product off the market? youve wasted your time. what if they jack the price up to $150? youve wasted your time. what if they get an offer they cant refuse and end up selling the model and all rights to a company? youve.. yep.. wasted your time. in this regard i trust daz, theyre not going to rip someone elses mesh off, theyre usually the ones getting their meshes ripped off. its all a matter of trust in the merchant - so far i havent seen a 3rd party character i would trust enough to support. you are placing a huge stake in that character's success when you jump on board.
